      Ugh, I know. It's not always easy to be a one man videographer and groundskeeper/property maintenance person (I don't know what else to call Andrew with the latter 2). I myself am a videographer (I don't get as much video as Andrew does at times but, still), and, sometimes it sure is a pain to get good perspectives, even just editing alone can be a bit of a pain. Both I know about as I do both pretty much next to all myself.

    I've had to write a few performance evaluations in my day . If I had to do one for Andrew it would go something like this :
    Andrew is highly motivated , a self confident self starter who works very well independently with a minimum of instruction or supervision . He is innovative with well rounded skills and accepts new challenges in stride . Andrew's work ethic , motivation and skills make him a highly valued asset . On rare occasions in his eagerness to see the job to completion in a timely manner he can be a bit rough on the equipment .

    I wonder Andrew if you have ever thought of building yourself a log home. You have the equipment to access and deliver your logs to the site you'd choose. I would be very interested in watching you go through that development process. It would also be a knowledge base builder for you, you never know where learning will take you... something for you to ponder. :-)

      It's been my observation that players like Andrew cannot hold onto a job working for another unless it's his dad (he learned his skills somewhere).
      I just read a dozen pages criticizing him because he doesn't chainsaw right (takes his shirt off and doesn't wear armor and pushes trees over before cutting them,etc.) Overloads his dump truck and scares the audience with his driving.
      No, I would never hire this guy: loose cannon on deck, probably an uppity type, and worst of all got his own opinion on how to do a job. OSHA would burn me at the stake.
      What I would do though is hire him as a contractor, and let him deal with the small stuff.

    I am so amazed at the lack of roots on east coast trees. Here in the pnw there is no way we could push trees over like that. I stumped my property and had to dig down 7-10 feet on some stumps. Of course they were about 4 feet wide. But I digress!! Nice work as always!!!

      A 4’ stump here would have a 18’ wide 8’ deep stump. And likewise, you would not push the tree over with a 15 ton excavator. These little 20” trees are tall so once you get em leaning they peal the roots right out.
